If you have subscribed to a messaging service through your wireless provider, you
can send and receive text messages to compatible phones that also subscribe to a
compatible message service. You may also be able to send and receive
e-mail messages.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be sent as a series of two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space limiting
the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
Composed messages can be up to 140 characters in length as indicated by counter
in upper right corner of screen. Using Unicode characters takes up more space.
If there are Unicode characters in your message, the indicator may not show the
message length correctly.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display Message Sent.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to
the message center number programed into your device. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about messaging services, check with your service provider.
